New World: Forged in Aeternum - Community Q&A (March 2024)

Game went to shit. And it spawned a toxic community of players

Can we stop with the questions « u suck » and the answers « we try not to suck »… talk about futur planned content, im watching this at 1,5x speed and it is still boring

So the pop up bother Scott, ok. I hat 750h on the tests, what do you mean you play it a lot, in 3ys ? They are pve casuals, so they make the game for them, that's everything. They arent the original devs of the game atpoint, the true senior devs left long years ago.

Ngl I respect that they’re reading the community saying. Barely any dev does this and they’re not afraid to admit the situation they’re in. I’m just impatient cause I want to enjoy the game.

hearing a lot of "we're doing everything we can" but the problem is absolutely nothing is happening, or for what does happen never works the way it is intended, which makes it look very much like you are doing the bare minimum.

Peeps need to remember that there are REAL PEOPLE behind this game. The questions you posed were so disrespectful of the devs. Pretty sad state of a community right now. Do better. Its a game..

It doesn't look good, the game is already in a coma for a long time, with no new content and merging servers it will be done. Too bad, it has great potential.

hope you devs are doing well, the game certainty isn't.

This is all fine, reworking the combat, etc. etc. But...the game will not survive without some TRUE new content. Not a reworked area, new loot in old expeditions. It will take a big addition of area to the map, several new expeditions, and new OPR maps and a true 20+ raid type of instance to keep this game alive. I know because I have almost 6000 hrs. into the game. And I have run everything in it hundreds of times. The whole thing (map, exp., OPR, 3v3, ALL OF IT) is very stagnant.

The long term health of the game doesn't matter if you don't have a community playing said game. You guys don't realize the reputational/brand damage this secret squirrel behavior is causing. I suggest getting some data on this.

These people don't know where to turn anymore, after 3 years of nothing on the PvP side, now they're using the excuse that they can't talk about it for some obscure reason, but it's shameful, after 3 years not even a new map, a new mode, and they still ask us to wait without any news? I've already stopped playing but I hope everyone quits this shitty game, and as usual, the PvE side has to ruin things for the PvP side. Damn carebear assholes, go play with Barbie dress-up, stupid noobs.

But the genius who claims to love arenas, why doesn't he tell the rest of his team that ever since they nerfed them, they don't start anymore? Does this evil genius know about it? And if he does, why don't they revert to the pre-nerf state to get people playing again? How many years will it take to change a damn setting? Why are they so incompetent?

NW is DEI grade quality.

Whelp. I've been holding out for daggers. Rogue/Assassin is completely missing in New World. Bow/Rapier is close but not quite there. Massively disappointed to hear. Contrary to most players still playing, I don't give a f about pvp. I just wanted to immerse myself in a fantasy world. This ain't it anymore.

At the start of the video, I thought they're outdoors because of budget cuts.

ok that will be last video for me gl new world im moving on

Thanks for the straight to the point answers, I respect this!

Spears are scary

Feature Recommendations
* Split territories to support more waring companies per World. Brimstone Sands North and South etc.
* Scrimmage wars per world then cross server if successful
* Endless Invasion game mode that gets progressively harder and counts waves survived

I deleted all my characters in NW, the only way I'm going to start my new character is on new PVE only server, I don't like the fact that luck is given to pvp, pvp controls everything, factions, loot and gathering nodes, pve loot is so nerfed because of pvp that there is no point to even bother doing anything especially if playing solo, or, Bots gathering all special nodes because nodes are set to one place, either remove special nodes or make them spawn randomly, I refuse to be a peasant for pvp.

No daggers?? rip.

Still asking for Steam Deck support 😭

Can't tell you anything because of the health of the game. YEA RIGHT get real! I guess the higher ups have him by the nuts to not say anything.

I have the same old bot question...any thoughts there? Can we bot now? Is that okay? Sure seems like it. COS had it's share of bots but it wasn't overrun with them. Now that you've forced me onto Valhalla, I see there's a lot bigger bot problem that I originally thought. Do you all make money from these gold sellers and bots? Is that why they're all still in the game? What would your actual server populations be if you removed all of them? Yeah, I'm annoyed by them. I'm more annoyed that you forced me onto a server with tons more of them. Thanks for nothing.

game need 1v1 pvp ranked grandmaster challenger promo epic

"Gotta look on the long term side of the game than the short term...." if there will be any long term with the state. And sayin wait till June an there will be something isnt convincing at all

What a waste of a wonderful game.....i have.a thousand hours on the toilet playing

Newworld The well known GPU frier.

kek

The remaining players are PvE, but I wonder if there is a huge potential for PvP returning players? Cross-Player 3vs3 when? new OPR when?

They say that in June they will make announcements, in June the game will be completely dead, this is a sad story of how it only takes 3 people to kill a project, an idea, a game, the worst of all is that they appear so happy in the video about how they ruined NW and yet they are there saying stupidity and lies when they know that in June the game will be totally Dead

regarding asia server - this is why AU server failed miserably..having averaging 500 players in this server is totally bullS***...

SEA population = 691M
AU & NZ population = 31M

and they choose to put the server in Australia
my friends are so happy that Albion Online launched in SEA (Singapore) and were not returning to this game who are giving us 200ms ping

Announcement in June: "BIG UPDATE COMING NOVEMBER 2024"

New world is not a majority PVE game lol the vast majority of people who still play, only play for PVP. PVE is only touched because we are forced to, to get BIS artifacts or gear.

pvp:
randomly turn the corrupted portal into an elite portal during the game. If completed you get a monster that if summoned can destroy the outpost door in one blow, and you have to wait 5 seconds to repair it.

every 5 minutes a boss spawns on the map which, if killed, gives boosts to the team that defeated him

there is an area with wrathful land monsters that drops a new type of monster that is used to defend the outpost

3v3:
randomly places a sphere of light on the map which can give more attack or defense, depending on the color

the closer you get to the end of the game or you remain 1 vs 1 the damage increases by 15%

new 10vs10 faction tank mode

pve:
tests of the soul open to all

better manage map bosses to increase the number of people who do them

reduce boss spawn time

mode that increases the difficulty several times as you advance, like a tower

Blah in being told to wait three months, I hope June is fantastic!

putting the bundle at $49.99 would help sell more copies, in my opinion

PVP players play PvE. The people who nolife"d" M runs are PVP players.
That's why your game is dead cause you genuinely don't understand gamers. There's a reason why FFXIV is so succesful with casuals yet the by far biggest resources go into the high end raiding that is played by 5-10% at best.
It's the same reason ranked systems are so valued in competetive games despite many players never even touching it.
The inherent need of improvement and competition is key in video games. Sense of achievement. Progress. Dominance. Meaningless content is useless. It's not content. It's entertaining for some "hyper- casuals" to gather all things, all achievements blabla. It's the playerbase you can get once you release it on console. Create a sociable 2nd life simulator. But for a good game use that money and start making a good game. You're so close and you seriously need fresh blood in this team who have a basic idea of a gamers mind.

Worst dev team of all time. Keep crushing it 💩

You're very lucky to have the economic power of Amazon behind you, because as far as I'm concerned you're a bunch of incompetents and I'd have fired you all by now. New world could be great with competent staff and real gamers behind the scenes, not people with no gamer spirit. The game hardly reaches 8k players, and that's entirely your fault. If an Amazon boss ever comes across this commentary, he should ask himself about your ability to balance the classes, specialize in more and more cheats, smoke more and more, fire mages and big weapons. No new gameplay in three years. I can understand small studios trying to survive, but you've got no excuses, no merit. I'm relaunching new world after a few months' break 700 gs and nothing's changed, still the same frustration, the maps belong to 3-4 guilds, the bgs are unbalanced, the classes 2-3 meta break everyone's face.
A bunch of incompetents in any case, what's for sure is that if I had a video game company one day, all the new world employees would be on the black list and you'd only survive thanks to amazon, which unfortunately doesn't understand much about mmo, but you really deserve to be fired.

Keep it up guys. Loving the updates and the access. Ignore the haters. Amazing how entitled some people feel. I have played a LOT of MMORPGs (over many years), and your updates and adjustments are excellent. I also LOVE that you are happy to admit when you've got something wrong - this gives me so much more love for you guys. I hope you really are what comes across: an inclusive, high-performing team.

Feedback from a pvp player: As someone who used to play New World, and quit it several times and returned to WoW instead, it is because New World simply lacks content and the gearing process is not streamlined for PvP. When I played arena, I got rekt on and I had zero clue how to improve my character.

On a fundamental level, I also find that new world's class base system is unfortunately a little lackluster compared to WoW. I would like there was a combination of three weapons, or at least they expanded upon their talent tree system; the game does not seem to have enough of depth. In WoW, one specialised class would have 2-3 more abilities and 10-15 more talent choices than 2 Weapons in New World has combined.


And to be fair, as far as I recall, New World was never meant to be a PvE game from the start - it was built with PvP in mind, but it became a PvE game after it's launch and it seems like, the developers have been busy satisfying the PvE player base. I never understood this, why not try to balance it and make the game appealing for both audiences - so you would have the players doing both aspects of the game.

What everyone can agree on, including active and players that have quit New World is that the game has tremendous potential. The game simply lacks content, and while I agree many of the content updates that have been added to the game have been necessary I gotta admit the instruments and the heavy focus on PvE is a complete waste of time, resources and a determined factor as of why people left the game.

Just my 2 cents. I hope the developers could use this feedback.I truly love New World for it's grapic and aesthetics of the game, and it's one of the game I revisit with the hope of that it's something I can play long term.

"No one is giving up on the game..." as they prove through their actions that they have given up on the game time and time again. And we don't care about a console launch.

Guys don't care about haters! Y'all have done a master piece! NW is just amazing!

U guys are simply ridiculous. U all saying u listn to us, u care, bla bla bla.... all u do is talking shit since September 2021 and u have done Nothing. No new longterm content, game still unplayable to bugs, dsync, no response on Tickets. all u do is destroying ur once promising game and ur playerbase. And FUCK of cause u dont play ur own Game as u alwas telling us.. If u were u would see whats the problems on ur Game, but ur clearly dont seeing that at all.

Keep up the great work , add ships please 😊

What is on the girls t shirt ????

I seriously hope that the "big june announcement" isn't something along the lines "hey here is New World for consoles" because that would be considered as a bad joke by still remaining players.

Are you sure you make right conclusions upon the data you get? The requests for console controller for the game didn't bring anyone back to the game and it was allegedly in huge demand.

I think end game like wars in this MMO can be fixed by just taking out the company aspect of owning territory. It should be Faction driven not company driven. This way everyone can take part and feels part of the end game and not the 1% or 2% hardcore. This way Factions mean something and if your faction owns a territory, each member can get maybe 200 coin a day for each territory that faction owns. Players that would get into the wars would be open for anyone to sign up from that same faction and the players would be randomly picked from the war board list to fight in the war. The game should be fair for everyone to have a chance to play everything the game offers and this way I believe would make open world influence race even bigger too and everyone in the dog would fight for 200 coin per territory a day. ( Companies should still be in the game, but not run the game )
